For a deeper almond flavor, consider adding a few drops of almond extract to the batter. To prevent the apples from sinking, toss them lightly with a tablespoon of flour before arranging them on the cake. If the cake starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking. Serve warm or at room temperature. This cake pairs perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
